2016 Chevrolet Caprice Fluid Capacities
OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2015-2016 (2015-2016).
Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
4.70 OZS. (0.13 L) — PAG 46
Automatic Transmission Fluid (3.6L Eng)
6.70 QTS. (6.34 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Brake Fluid
— Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 4 plus, SAE J1704 or conforming to Chevrolet specification number HN 2456
Differential Gear Oil
1.32 QTS. (1.24 L) — Castrol SAF Carbon Modifier SAE 75W-85 API -GL5 Differential Oil
Engine Coolant (3.6L Eng)
10.78 QTS. (10.2 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water
Engine Oil (3.6L Eng)
6.00 QTS. (5.67 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (6.0L Eng)
6.70 QTS. (6.34 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid DEXRON VI Note: All capacities are approximate. When adding, be sure to fill to the approximate level. Recheck the fluid level after filling.
Engine Coolant (6.0L Eng)
11.01 QTS. (10.41 L) — 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOL and clean, drinkable water
Engine Oil (6.0L Eng)
8.00 QTS. (7.57 L) — API - SAE 5W-30 Note: Use only engine oil licensed to the dexos1 specification or equivalent, of the proper SAE viscosity grade. ACDelco dexos1 Synthetic Blend is recommended. SAE 5W-30 is the best viscosity grade for the vehicle. Do not use other viscosity grade oils such as SAE 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-50. If in an area of extreme cold, where the temperature falls below -20Deg.F (-29Deg.C), an SAE 0W-30 oil may be used. An oil of this viscosity grade will provide easier cold starting for the engine at extremely low temperatures.
